"I think fishermen Pescara starting with the beautiful painted fishing boats, before sunrise , to master the wind, and have the taste of salt in the mouth ', D'Annunzio writes in one of the scrolls that make up the "Night". It is 1916, a plane crash has taken away the use of an eye, forcing him to wait long convalescence, during which most of his work suffered. In those months, the publisher of Naples Bideri Public parables and stories, a collection of short writings that belong to other seasons of his mood varied, never really abandoned, as the evocation of the morning on the sea, which relived home spirit.
From the writings contained in this small edition of Naples, leaving the Fables of Christmas, by which Solfanelli reopen its historic series, "The Voltaluna" directed by Lucio D'Arcangelo, who continues the work of discovery for years conducted in collaboration with Oreste Del Buono. This is, in the opportunity to meet a D'Annunzio away from the stereotype Aesthete prisoner of his elegance, so as to appear to a superficial reading, not D'Annunzio, at least in the limited, if not a caricature, that the term has ended up taking. We are indeed coming to the folk roots that mark the onset of the narrator, as shown by "Virgin Earth" and "Tales of Pescara. D'Arcangelo
As observed in the preface, in these pages flashing D'Annunzio, "says the timeless time of the fairy tale or rebuild, the minutes of pure magic, the tender and bloody life of great antiquity. " He in fact drew on the legends of his rural land, Abruzzo, writing first-hand from oral sources of which he had direct knowledge, but filtered through an exquisite sensitivity. Remote pagan survival are mixed feelings as to the ethical-religious Christianity, and the pages will open up the records of the marvelous and the fantastic, that can not occur elsewhere in the vast production dell'Imaginifico.
exception to the traditional matrix "A tree in Russia": the adventure tells the tale of two Christmas aristocrats and belongs to right, the side which had led to worldly success, the young D'Annunzio. The beginning of the story, with "Holy Russia, blind and savage" that "fills his name troubled Europe", the notion of our eyes in the gloom of an inauspicious omen, that the lightness of the writing fails to soothe.
